“…The MWMW was adapted to the educational context (Gagné et al, 2015) in Portugal. In order to adapt the items of the scale to the population of our study, the Portuguese version of the instrument was sent to five judges (three teachers and two psychologists who were knowledgeable on the educational context) to develop the semantic adequacy, certifying the global adequacy of all items to the Portuguese context, so that the adaptation process of the instrument to the semantic adequacy level was considered concluded in accordance with Brislin (1986).…”

“…Regarding the field of work, Blais, Brière, Lachance, Riddle and Vallerand (1993) published the first scale of motivation based on SDT, in French, despite problems with the internal validity and with the scale of extrinsic regulation (Cronbach's alpha coefficients of only 0.50) which encouraged Tremblay, Blanchard, Villeneuve, Taylor and Pelletier (2009) as well as Gagné et al (2015) to develop the scale (in French and English). These scales, however, had some problems, such as following the tradition of asking people why they did an activity, which in the workplace could be problematic and led to the development and validation of the MWMS.…”

“…The self-determination theory -SDT (Deci & Ryan, 1985) stands out, presenting a multidimensional concept of motivation, permitting the evaluation of the quality of motivation. Therefore, following the adaptation and validation of the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS) to the Portuguese population (Gagné et al, 2015), the main objective of this research is the psychometric adaptation and validation of the scale specifically to the educational context, and the exploration of the psychometric properties of the Motivation Scale.…”

Abstract:The self-determination theory proposes a multidimensional concept of motivation and distinguishes how different types of motivation can be promoted or discouraged. For the application of the theory of self-determination to the educational context, this study aimed to adapt and validate the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS) in the educational context. The scale was answered by 419 teachers from 30 schools from the North and Center of Portugal. Factor analysis indicated that the 19-item scale has the same factor structure as that obtained in the original study. In this study, it was possible to identify that the items that constitute the MWMS are good indicators of constructs to be measured in an educational context and the factors are properly individualized. The scale showed five robust dimensions that permit a broad understanding of motivation, similar to the studies of the original scale. The dimension with the best internal consistency is demotivation, while introjected regulation obtained the lowest coefficient.Keywords: self-determination, motivation, questionnaire, teachers Estudo de Validação em Contexto Educativo da Versão Portuguesa da Escala Multidimensional de Motivação no TrabalhoResumo: A teoria da autodeterminação propõe uma conceptualização multidimensional da motivação e distingue como os diferentes tipos de motivação podem ser promovidos ou desencorajados. Para a sua aplicação ao contexto educativo, o presente estudo teve como objetivo a adaptação e validação da Escala Multidimensional de Motivação no Trabalho (MWMS). A escala foi respondidapor 468 professores em 30 agrupamentos de escolas do norte e centro de Portugal. A análise fatorial indicou uma escala de 19 itens com estrutura de fatores semelhante à obtida nos estudos originais. Neste estudo foi possível constatar que os itens que constituem o MWMS são bons indicadores dos construtos que se pretendem medir em contexto educativo e que os fatores se encontram devidamente individualizados. A escala demonstrou cinco dimensões robustas que admitem um entendimento lato da motivação, comuns aos estudos da escala original. A dimensão com melhor consistência interna é a desmotivação e a regulação introjetada é a mais baixa.
